Scalia upset with Scouting decision resigns as Scoutmaster.

Justice Antonin Scalia is upset with the recent Scouting decision on homosexuality according to this news story.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who for the past forty-seven
years has served as a weekend scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America,
angrily resigned from that position yesterday, effective immediately.

Justice Scalia quit his post in a terse resignation letter that read, in part:

“Some of the happiest memories of my adult life have been as a
scoutmaster. Huddling under blankets around the campfire, and so forth.
But now, all of that has been ruined. Ruined.”

Shortly after sending the letter, Justice Scalia destroyed his
scoutmaster uniform in the blazing fireplace of his Supreme Court
office.

Later, he went across the hall to share his decision with his close
confidant on the Court, Justice Clarence Thomas, telling him, “There’s
nowhere I feel safe anymore, Clarence. The military? The N.B.A.?
Nowhere. I guess the only place I still feel safe is the Supreme Court.
This is still a safe place, isn’t it?”

Was this a big decision? Certainly if the goal of an organization is character and moral rectitude. One compromise will invariably lead to others.

SATIRICAL UPDATE: For those who didn't know the above fictional comments by Scalia above were written in a satirical piece.
